Message from the Principal
Emmanuel Kofi Addo
I welcome you to the official website of Dambai Technical Institute with the greatest optimism. Since our establishment in 2017, the Institute has stood as a beacon of technical and vocational excellence in the heart of Dambai, the capital of Oti Region, situated within the Krachi East Municipal Assembly. We were founded with a clear purpose: to empower the youth of our region and beyond with relevant skills and practical knowledge that will prepare them for meaningful careers and self-sufficiency.
At Dambai Technical Institute, our vision is to become a leading center of technical and vocational training in Ghana, producing skilled, competent, and innovative graduates who will drive national development. We are committed to developing individuals who are not only technically proficient but also entrepreneurial, ethical, and community-minded.
Our mission is to provide high-quality technical and vocational education and training that meets national standards, promotes creativity, and equips trainees with the skills necessary to contribute effectively to society. We strive to bridge the gap between formal education and the practical demands of the job market through hands-on training, industry collaboration, and continuous curriculum development.
Our goal is to nurture a generation of skilled professionals who can either secure gainful employment or create their own businesses. We aim to reduce unemployment by equipping our trainees with employable and entrepreneurial skills, particularly in the fields of fashion design, carpentry, welding, and other vital trades.
Despite the numerous challenges faced over the years—including limited infrastructure and resources—the Institute has remained resilient. We have successfully graduated over 64 trainees who continue to make us proud. Some have gone on to establish their own thriving businesses, while others are actively contributing to the fashion industry or pursuing further studies to enhance their skills and qualifications.
Looking to the future, we are excited about the prospects of growth and innovation. Our plans include expanding our academic programs, improving our facilities, and fostering partnerships with industries and stakeholders to enhance the learning experience. We are committed to building an institution that not only educates but also inspires transformation in the lives of our students and the communities they serve.
Thank you for visiting our website. We invite you to explore more about our programs, achievements, and opportunities. Together, let us shape a future of excellence and impact.
